  Charles Evens, in The Genealogist iii:265-6 cited a couple of charters in
  which William Longspee names his mother as a Countess Ida.  He then suggested
  that she may have been Ida of Flanders, Countess of Boulogne, dughter of
  Matthew of Alsace and of Maud, daughter of King Stephen [Ref: Farmerie 8/1/95]
  
  Rosemund was not mother of William Longspee.  This has long been known.  More
  recently, charter evidence has been produced in which William calls his mother
  "Countess Ida", who has been identified with the wife of Roger Bigod, Earl of
  Norfolk. [Ref: Farmerie 2/6/97]
  
  Mistresses that have been claimed as mothers of William Longspee.  The 'First
  identified', 'Basis', and 'Contemporary documentation' relates specifically to
  their identification as mother of WIlliam, not to them being mistresses of
  Henry.  Rosamunde Clifford: First identified by 15th century(?);
  documentation: none.  Hikenai: 19th or 20th century(?); basis: documented
  mother of Geoffrey, another of Henry's illigitimates; documentation: none.
  Annabel Baliol: first identified 20th centry; basis: documented mistress of
  Henry II during approximate period of William's birth; contemporary document:
  none.  Alix de Porhoet: first identified in20th century; basis: documented
  mother of a child by Henry II during approximate time period; contemporary
  documentation: none.  Alice of France: first identified in 19th or 20th
  century; basis: documented mother of a child by Henry II; contemporary
  documentation: none.  Countess Ida: first identified in 20th century; basis:
  named by WIlliam in two donations; contemporary documentation: two donations
  recorded in the Bradenstoke Cartulary. [Ref: Farmerie 10/1/98]
  
  The published edition of the Bradenstoke priory charters (Cartulary of
  Bradenstoke Priory, ed. Vera C. M. London: Wilts. Rec. Soc. 35: Devizes, 1979)
  is actually a calendar of abstracts, not a full text edition.  There are two
  charters attesting William Longspee's maternity, one appearing in each of the
  fragmentary extant Bradenstoke cartularies (both fourteenth century MSS): BL
  Cotton Vitellius A.11, f. 102 (n. 646 in the pub. vol.) and BL Stowe 925, f.
  143 (no. 481).  The abstracts, plus the original Latin phrases quoted in the
  introduction to the edition (and that portion of the introduction quoted in
  toto by Charles Evens in his letter to The Genealogist, 3 (1982), 265-6) tell
  you everything you meed to know relevant to this question: William stated that
  a countess Ida was his mother in two (undated) gifts to the priory designed
  for her spiritual benefit.  ... Charter 481 the gift is made by William for
  the souls of both his wife Ela and his mother countess Ida.  Note that this
  means that Ida was not necessarily dead at the time of the donations, since
  Ela wasn't (Ela outlived him by over thirty years).  The editor of the
  cartulary tentatively suggested Ida, suo jure countess of Boulogne, as a
  possible candidate for the mother.  Evans went further and said that he knew
  of no other contemporary candidate.  [Ref: Nat Taylor 2/27/97]
  
  DNB (v34p115) states that he received Appleby in co Lincoln from his fatgher
  in 1188.  However, DNBv11p76 states that this was the earlier William
  Longspee.  CP account does not include nor does it discuss this grant.  [Ref:
  Sheppard Apr65 p100]
  
  1196/7: received from brother, King Richard, the third penny of Wiltshire
  [Ref: Sheppard Apr65 p100]
